We had two classes this past Saturday. Before the shop opened, I started four new beaders down the bead-stringing path...showing them the basics on how to use findings, crimps, pliers, etc. Later in the afternoon, Sharon Kay taught a fun freeform-y bangle-ish wire bracelet. Extremely fun!
The beginners and their first projects.
"Wire Bangle-ish Bracelet" class and results...
Info about this week+, holidays, vacations, etc. ...
The shop will be open this week on Wednesday (8/31) from 12-8P, Friday night from 6-9P, and on Saturday (9/3) from 12-6P. (This is a change. Yes, I will be open on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. We'll see if a living soul is in town to come in...hee hee! If you are here, come in!)
More details...
* Wednesday (8/31)...shop is open 12-8P. Weasel Wednesday sit-and-stitch from 4-8P. The bead embroidery class will run from 6-8P, so the Weasels will be in the back room.
* FIRST FRIDAY (9/2)...shop is open from 6-9P. This is an "unplugged" First Friday. Bring your own project, your own drinks/food...and sit-and-stitch on your own thing. Free, but RSVP by Wednesday is required, please.
* Saturday (9/3)...shop is open from 12-6P. I normally close for holiday weekends as Midland becomes a ghost town. But I have other closures in September and want to be as available as I can be. So if you're in town, please stop into the bead shop!
The following week...
* Wednesday (9/7)...shop is open from 12-8P. Weasel Wednesday sit-and-stitch 4-8P. And a class...
* 9/7 CLASS: 5:30-8:30P, Sharon Kay is teaching her "Spiral Link Wire Bracelet," using wire, pliers, and lampwork beads to create unique links in a bracelet. Fun! (Pre-register/pre-pay for the class.)
* Saturday (9/10) may be weird. Right now, the shop "may" be closed. There is a class scheduled...if the class is a "go," it can proceed while the shop is closed. Will update you as it gets closer. (Call with questions.)
* 9/10 CLASS: 1-5P: Daileen Anker-Adams is teaching the beautiful "Netted Lace Cuff Bracelet." Using needle, thread, and seed beads and crystals, you will embellish a netted base of seed beads. Sparkly!
* CLOSED on guild night (9/12). (That's the night my Dad died last year, so I'll be home with my Mom.) Unsure about that Wednesday...will update you when I know. Call ahead to make sure I'm open.
We have lots of other classes scheduled later in September: "Bling Ring and Beginning Wire Link Bracelet" (9/17), "Bead Embroidery Cuff with Feature Fabric" (9/21 AND 9/28), "Freeform Brick Bracelet" (9/22), "Drop Petal Necklace" (9/24), and "Flat Spiral Bracelet" (10/1).
